I have zigbee and zwave already setup. I want to get some Inovelli switches and I'm wondering if I should get the whites (thread). Is thread "here" yet or should I stick with zigbee?
#Zigbee vs Thread

In my opinion, zigbee is more mature. Thread is evolving and expanding quickly. I guess it depends on you. Are you a bleeding edge kinda person, or do you prefer the stable and more reliable option.

@wide stump I'm building mine out using Zigbee and Matter over WiFi and Thread. I have 3 Inovelli White Series switches and no issues here. I added them straight to HA in the Matter integration. I do have Eve Smart Outlets throughout my house to build out my Matter Over Thread network.

i am content with my White Series switches. that said, strictly speaking, White Series is more limited compared to Blue Series. In particular you do not have fine control over the status lights and more advanced configuration options (https://help.inovelli.com/en/articles/8780495-white-series-2-1-switch-button-combinations-quick-tap-sequences-local-configuration-options#h_092d806a05) have to be set via these asinine tap sequences
personally i still would choose white series particularly because i want a large number of router devices around my house for a robust thread network for my other thread devices but in terms of pure functionality.....
yeah you should just buy the blue series

Thank you! 🎉
